Michael Langley, the director of the Alcoholic Beverage Control Division, tells Arkansas Business that he's already been thinking through the possible new law.

If voters do approve the Arkansas Alcoholic Beverage Amendment he's got a plan of action on tap to implement the law, which would go into effect on July 1.

First, the ABC would hold a series of meetings with various stakeholders about the specifics of the law. Those meetings would include sit-downs with liquor retailers and wholesalers -- as well as legislators and the governor's staff.

Using feedback from the those meetings, the ABC would then help craft a legislative package to be considered in the upcoming January session.

Langley says he expects lawmakers to weigh in on many aspects of the law's implementation.

Lawmakers would likely revamp laws dealing with how far a liquor retailers can be from a church or school, and they'll likely reduce the number of package stores that can be in a county.

This is because there wouldn't be any more dry counties to push business into wet counties.
